Section 1 - Plan Introduction 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this Flood Safety Plan is to ensure the effective performance of Reclamation District 404 responsibilities in a flood emergency in collaboration with other jurisdictions performing emergency functions within and around the District. This plan will be used in conjunction with the emergency operations plans of the State of California and the San Joaquin Operational Area to facilitate multi-jurisdictional coordination within District boundaries. Although this is a public document, specific procedures and information of a sensitive nature, as well as personal information, may be removed from publicly available versions. The full document is subject to restricted-use handling procedures. This plan meets the requirements of Section 9650 of the California Water Code. 1.2 Scope Reclamation District 404 is an independent jurisdiction with responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the levee system within its jurisdictional boundaries. This emergency operations plan describes detailed procedures for meeting this District responsibility. Operational plans of other jurisdictions with public safety responsibilities within the District are only referenced in this plan. This plan will cover in detail the following; District Flood Preparedness Procedures District Levee Patrol Procedures District Flood Fight Procedures District Dewatering Procedures District Recovery and After-Action Procedures 1.3 Plan Structure This Flood Safety Plan is structured as a traditional functional emergency operations plan in accordance with Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 v. 2.0 issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Consistent with that guidance, and because of the District s www.sjmap.org/oesfcm Maintained by San Joaquin Operational Area limited responsibilities and lack of internal departments, Figure 1.1 this emergency operations plan consists of this Basic Plan and one hazard-specific annex, Annex A Flood Contingency Map (Annex A). The District s existing flood contingency map will constitute Annex A containing the District s specific flood response procedures. The most current flood contingency map for the district can be accessed at the San Joaquin Operational Area flood contingency map website (See Figure 1.1). Reclamation District 404 7 Revision 10/19/2015

Section 2 - Concept of Operations 2.1 Situation Overview See the San Joaquin Operational Area Hazard Mitigation Plan for a comprehensive flood risk assessment for the County of San Joaquin. See Annex A for District boundaries, levees, pumping stations, supply depots, historical flooding summary, locations of past breaches and areas of historic seepage or erosion, topography, and characteristics of waterways fronting District levees. Reclamation District 404, Boggs Tract, is bounded on the west side by the San Joaquin River, on the north side by the Stockton Deep Water Channel, and on the south side by French Camp Slough and Walker Slough. The ground rises to the east up to and along Mormon Slough which flows in an easterly direction to the Stockton Diverting Canal. Figure 2.1 Failure of Mormon Slough above the Diverting Canal, or the Diverting Canal itself, would potentially flood the district from the East. Interstate 5 runs generally from northeast to southwest along the district s southeastern boundary. The San Joaquin River varies between 150 to 200 feet wide along the District boundaries. No major islands or barriers exist in the San Joaquin River channel along the District boundary but it is crossed by five bridges. The French Camp Slough channel extends up to 350 feet in width along the District s southern boundary. This channel contains scrub and tree covered islands and obstructions within the channel. Reclamation District 404 is threatened primarily from riverine floods along the San Joaquin River, Delta high tidal events, or from failure of levee systems on the southeast side of Stockton along Mormon Slough. The Delta tidal prism extends up the Stockton Deep Water Channel, the San Joaquin River, French Camp Slough, and Walker Slough along the District levees and Delta tidal pool flood elevations are relevant to the District flood threat. District levees protect areas within the City of Stockton and unincorporated areas of the County. Overall population is in excess of 10,000 residents and major facilities within the District include the Port of Stockton, a major regional fuel storage area, a large industrial area, and the Stockton Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. 2.2. General Approach to Seasonal Flood Operations District staff will carry out routine preparedness activities at the beginning of the flood season as described below. Annex A Flood of this plan describes the concept of operations for active District flood fight activities. Section 3, Organization and Assignment of Responsibilities, of this Basic Plan describes authorities and responsibilities for performing routine and emergency activities. 2.2.1 Routine Preparedness and Infrastructure Maintenance The District performs the following routine preparedness actions. Reclamation District 404 8 Revision 10/19/2015

1. District Engineer inspects District levees on a routine basis 2. Ongoing baiting and grouting program for ground rodents 3. Ongoing vegetation control program 4. Annual inspection and inventory of District flood fight supplies 5. Semi-annual joint inspection of levees with State inspectors 6. Periodic joint inspection of levees with Federal inspectors 7. Annual inspection and maintenance of access control gates on levees District does not own, operate, or maintain pumping stations or other facilities for internal drainage control. 2.2.2 Monitoring and Analysis The District will monitor and analyze water conditions, elevations, and forecasts for waterways affecting District levees throughout the flood season for the purpose of promptly identifying heightened threats to the integrity of its levee systems. The objective of this monitoring effort is to identify conditions that warrant additional actions beyond routine flood season preparedness activities. The District will use the following gages and information sources in its monitoring effort. Primary reference Gauge: San Joaquin River at Mossdale Datum NAVD 88 Secondary reference Gauge: San Joaquin River near Vernalis Datum NAVD88 See Annex A for stage information See Annex A for stage information 2.2.3 Alerting, Activation, and Initial Response The following actions will be taken when the trigger condition is identified by District staff. These actions may also be taken by District staff at any time it is felt that conditions affecting the levees warrant such action. Action Alert the District Board of Trustees and staff Issue Delegation of Authority letter appointing District Incident Commander Activate District staff and initiate periodic focused levee inspections Initiate 24-hour continuous levee patrols Trigger Condition Official prediction that Monitor Stage will be reached at Mossdale Gauge Monitor Stage at Mossdale Gauge 21.5 at Mossdale Gauge Contact City of Stockton, San Joaquin, Potential threat to levee integrity County Sheriff, Port of Stockton and San Joaquin OES Contact the State-Federal Flood Operations Center Identified problem on levee Reclamation District 404 9 Revision 10/19/2015

The District does not use phases where objective conditions trigger a group of actions. Each action indicated will be taken upon reaching the trigger condition shown or if District staff feels it is warranted. As noted below, the District Engineer is responsible for monitoring objective conditions affecting the District. District staff will take all of the above actions upon the identification, or verified report, of any out of the ordinary condition on a District levee that presents a potential risk of failure. 2.3 Public Alert and Warning The District will promptly notify jurisdictions responsible for alerting and warning the general public upon identification of a threat to District levees. The District will provide detailed information on the characteristics of the threat and will assist, to the extent possible, with notification of the public if requested. All alert and warning of the general public will be carried out in accordance with the plans of protected jurisdictions. The following jurisdictions are responsible for alerting and warning the general public within Reclamation District 404. City of Stockton County of San Joaquin Port of Stockton Alerting and warning will be conducted jointly by these jurisdictions through the San Joaquin Operational Area using the procedures contained in the SJOA Warning Annex (see www.sjgov.org/oes). The District will provide a representative to the operational area and SJOA Joint Information Center to assist with alert and warning messages if requested. General Public Evacuation Maps and Brochures website www.sjmap.org/evacmaps maintained by San Joaquin Operational Area Evacuation maps and brochures for the public are available at a dedicated website maintained by San Joaquin Operational Area (see Figure 2.2). These maps contain information on receiving alerts and warnings within the District along with evacuation and safety instructions. RD404 has been designated the Port Evacuation Zone. Figure 2.2 Location of the public safety evacuation map for Reclamation District 404 is shown on Annex A. 2.4 Flood Fight Operations Flood fight operations, including levee patrol, will be conducted in accordance with the procedures in this Basic Plan and those shown on Annex A. Annex A displays the District s concept of operations for emergency communications, patrol, flood fight, and dewatering operations. This concept of operations and related response procedures will be modified as needed by the District Incident Commander to meet the demands of actual emergency Reclamation District 404 10 Revision 10/19/2015

conditions. Plans of jurisdictions with responsibility for warning and evacuation within the District are referenced on Annex A as well as in this plan. 2.5 Federal and State Disaster Assistance The District s policy is to maintain mitigation and emergency plans and procedures, as well as the physical condition of its levees, at the level required to be eligible for disaster assistance under the Federal Stafford Act and PL84-99 programs and the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA). Emergency operations will be conducted and documented in compliance with conditions of those programs for reimbursement of disaster expenses. The District has assigned its District Engineer to maintain necessary documentation during an emergency and to participate in any available assistance programs after a disaster on behalf of the District. To ensure that the District takes steps to quickly access the recovery process, these actions should be considered if an incident is imminent or occurring: PL-84-99: o Pre-develop a USACE PL84-99 request letter on District letterhead o Contact DWR Flood Operations Center o Follow-up call to USACE District office that a request was made to DWR o Notify Operational Area of PL84-99 request, send copy of written request State and other Federal programs: o Request San Joaquin County to Proclaim the Existence of a Local Emergency o Notify District administration when the Proclamation is established Reclamation District 404 11 Revision 10/19/2015

Attachment 1 Reclamation District 404 Emergency Response and Training Policy Reclamation District 404 Board of Trustees hereby adopts the National Incident Management System (NIMS) for organizing emergency response activities. The Board further establishes the following emergency response and training policies. Emergency Response In an emergency, the District Board of Trustees is responsible for determining general response policy and performing financial oversight. The District Incident Commander is responsible for organizing District response activities, supervising any hired staff or contractors working for the District, and for coordinating with outside agencies. The District hereby establishes the position of Emergency Levee Worker for purposes of hiring or reassigning non-district staff for levee patrol or other flood fighting tasks at the time of the emergency. National Incident Management System Training Guidance In regard to meeting national training requirements, the District will comply with the provisions of the National Incident Management System Training Program Manual, September 2011 and any subsequent revisions to that document. The District will also comply with California Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) training requirements. The NIMS Training Program Manual indicates that federal training guidance is not absolute and that organizations should tailor their training to the level of incident complexity that their staff would potentially manage. After careful review of the definitions of incident complexity levels shown on Page 16 of the NIMS Training Program Manual, this Board has determined that District responsibilities to patrol its levees and respond to threats to levee structural integrity would require District staff to manage Type 4 incidents. District training requirements outlined below meet NIMS training recommendations for Type 4 incidents (pages 17 and 18, NIMS Training Program Manual, September 2011) and SEMS training requirements. Reclamation District 404 Training Requirements The Board of Trustees hereby establishes the following training requirements for District staff involved in flood emergency operations. Members of the Board of Trustees and District Secretary shall complete the G-402, Incident Command System Overview for Executives and Senior Officials and the SEMS Executive Course. The District Engineer staff shall complete, at a minimum, the SEMS Introduction, ICS-100 Introduction to the Incident Command System, ICS-200 ICS for Single Resources and Initial Reclamation District 404 24 Revision 10/19/2015

Action Incidents, and IS-700 NIMS An Introduction courses to meet Type 4 incident management requirements. In addition, the District Engineer staff shall complete IS-800 National Response Framework and IS-701 NIMS MACS course to meet inter-agency coordination responsibilities. Staff hired or transferred to serve as Emergency Levee Workers at the time of an emergency shall receive a 2-hour RD404 Emergency Safety and NIMS Course that will include a 60 minute summary of the SEMS Introduction, ICS-100 and IS-700 courses and 60 minutes of specific safety and procedures information for their emergency duties prior to beginning work. This policy is hereby approved by the Board of Trustees on. Jason P. Cashman Trustee and President R. Gary Lambdin Trustee Edward Stockton Trustee Reclamation District 404 25 Revision 10/19/2015
